Here are 2 suggestions: 1. At the top it should say your name or some indication that you are either logged in or out. 2. The sports scores are unreadable in the app. They all run together. Thank you ### 1/5 — Spelling issue *2021-04-15, version 7.5.9* We cannot believe that your computers at the News-Herald, don’t have spell check on them. We like to have the children read the newspaper, so they can learn to read better and want to read. But your newspaper will run two, three sometimes four words together to make it look like ONE word. We ask WHY do you let a well known newspaper get sloppy? Please fix your issues so not only the children we are trying to teach, but also the adults go back to reading the newspaper. Thank you ### 3/5 — Like the previous layout better. *2020-11-10, version 7.4.5* I can’t tell whether I’m just in the non-paid portion of the app or the paid portion. I like the old newspaper layout. ### 2/5 — OMG Ads everywhere! *2020-07-20* I went through the obituary section. There had to be more ads for my last product search than obituaries. I ended my product search why are you annoying the hell out of me with ad after ad after ad. Might be time to delete the annoying N-H app. ### 3/5 — Ads are gross and sometimes inappropriate *2020-06-27* Like the ability to increase text size. Ads have gross photos of weird things and sometimes inappropriate. ### 1/5 — Very little local news *2020-04-26, version 7.4.5* The only reason I keep the app is for the obits. ### 2/5 — Lack of multi function *2020-02-25, version 7.4.2* Can’t listen to music on my device and read at same time. ### 1/5 — High hopes *2020-01-23, version 7.4.2* I had high hopes that the iPad app would be better than the website. Not a good format or end product. Sadly a fail. ### 1/5 — NO OBITUARIES *2019-09-18, version 7.3.13* Why on earth would they take away the obituaries? I’m no longer interested! ### 1/5 — Not friendly *2019-06-15, version 7.3.13* I want to be able to search, and to prioritize local news (since that’s why I subscribe) this app is awful ### 3/5 — New herald *2019-01-24, version 7.3.11* New app should be like the paper. Their design team should look and the Cleveland Plain Dealer digital design. It is a spitting image of the actual paper. Just great ### 1/5 — News Herald App *2018-10-07, version 7.3.10* Worst App ever ### 3/5 — No search function *2018-08-16* I want to search for certain topics. Can’t do it. Other frustrating issue is that if link to article is on Twitter, it forces me to sign up for a subscription. If I download the app, it doesn’t ask for a subscription. Id rather reach the articles on twitter as I’m following the reporters who are covering the specifics I want to see. Those being local sports and events. ### 1/5 — Obits *2018-04-14, version 7.2.16* Where’s the local obits? Should look like the news paper! ### 1/5 — Paper view *2018-02-22, version 7.2.16* This app does not show the paper in print view as other newspapers. I would not recommend this app ### 3/5 — Pitch adjustment *2017-08-15, version 7.2.11* Even though you have a location to adjust the pitch of the text it does not work ### 1/5 — No way to subscribe or view the whole paper *2017-06-20* I need an app because the paper newspaper has small print that I cannot read. I love this newspaper, but the app only seems to have news that I can get on CNN/elsewhere. I want an app that is the Ohio Lake County News Herald. Their website requires a subscription, but that does not seem to relate to the app and is not mobile or handicap friendly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Silverfox *2025-05-15* Rating ### 1/5 — DemoRATS *2025-02-21* Articles very biased demorat reporting ### 1/5 — Confused *2023-12-18, version 7.6.3* I have nothing but trouble logging in to read the paper. User friendly is a term that never will be associated with the News Herald app ### 1/5 — Old News *2023-12-12* This app (and the News Herald) are so slow at updating it’s egregious. The app is very unreliable because half the time it won’t let you log in . Instead it prompts you to buy a subscription, that I already have . Frustrating ! It’s 12:45 Dec 12 and the app’s latest headlines are showing 18 hour old stories. Can we give zero stars as a rating? One is WAY too many for this app! ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-08-18, version 7.6.3* Can’t access the digital paper. Complete waste of time downloading this app If you want local news use The Plain Dealer app. Easy access to the digital paper ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2022-11-26, version 7.6.3* You can’t even access the paper. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-09-30, version 7.6.3* When I first subscribed I could see the paper and read what I wanted! That’s gone! Cancelling! ### 1/5 — No digital version available? *2021-07-10, version 7.6.0* I had this app so I could easily access my subscription to the digital copy of the paper. What happened to it? ### 1/5 — Bad app! *2021-05-13, version 7.6.0* Terrible, can’t read the paper just keeps trying to get me to register with some other paper. I will cancel the News-Herald ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2021-04-30* What happened to the digital replication of the Lake County News Herald. I called support and spoke with someone from another country after waiting 15 minutes. He kept talking over me. He was hard to understand and you could tell he was reading from a script. He had no idea what I was talking about. He said he would check with a IT specialist. I will stop my subscription. The news on this app can be gotten from other news sites for free! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NH *2025-10-06* So I actually got this to follow my local HS. But there is so much more for what’s going on. Locally with great information ### 5/5 — One of my go-to everyday apps *2025-07-29* I read the NH primarily through this app, which has gotten better and better over the years. Very user-friendly, particularly when it comes to the mobile experience. Well done! ### 5/5 — Very good *2020-01-29, version 7.4.2* The app works perfectly as of Jan 2020 ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-05-25, version 4.6.4.0* Love being able to have the high school sports right at my finger tips!!! ### 5/5 — Great for Local News *2013-08-24* Gives all the local news I need. Only wish it gave the daily weather almanac ### 5/5 — News-Herald App is readily accessible and dynamic! *2013-08-01, version 4.4.0.0* Jim Ingraham is the most fun sports writer to read since Rick Reilly! Go Tribe! ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2013-07-26, version 4.4.0.0* I grew up in Painesville Twp- now live in Connecticut- it is a great app that allows me to stay connected- maybe best design of an newspaper app I use ### 5/5 — Terrific! *2013-06-18, version 4.3.0.0* Easy to read, easy to navigate, great local content -- this is one impressive app! ### 5/5 — Review *2013-04-25, version 4.2.1.0* Excellent local news source. Well organized and well written. ### 5/5 — SUPER! *2013-04-13, version 4.2.1.0* What a super app! First item I read every morning!
